Fill the form with your own details to submit the request.

(The details in this image are not real and are only used as an example)

You will receive a notification to verify your email within 24 hours and then, an account request confirmation.

It usually takes 1 day for your account to be approved, however in their FAQ they say it may take within 1 to 5 business days.

You will receive a link to create your account. Fill the form with your details and you are ready to go!

2. Setting up the kernel

Once you have access to the Studio Lab, you should request the computational resources to be used. For the material content in this course, we will use CPU.

Select Start runtime and then, Open Project

You will be taken by default directly to a Getting Started.ipynb notebook where they introduce you to the Amazon SageMaker Studio Lab.

At this point, take a sneak peek to the content.

We will show you now how to retrieve the contents of the Digital Technologies course. Let's start!

Cloning the Git repository

Go to the tab with the Git symbol and then to Clone a Repository.

Unselect the option ... build conda environment (we will do that later).

The GitHub repository for the course is Digital Technologies - RMIT. Copy the URL and click Clone.

Now, open and take a sneak peek to the README.md and program.md files.

We are going to introduce our first Jupyter Notebook: Open Hello_pandemicWorld.ipynb and follow the instructions!

WE ARE READY TO START WITH PYTHON!
